Update, I found out that IDP's FICM tuner does not come with Inductive heating. It took me a year to get it worked out but, they asked me to send them my tuner last month and they sent it back with the inductive heating option installed. I had a little trouble uploading it but, on the second...

Hey Guys, I don't like threads that leave you hanging... After a year of complaining that the D.I.Y. Updater didn't work IDP had me send them the tuner and they flashed it with inductive heating. I had a little snuffu loading it the first time but, after returning to stock and then flashing the...

Hey Doc, Isn't the actuating of the spool valves commonly known as inductive heating? I thought the two were the same. I thought that, the 1st flash that was supposed to solve this cycled the spool valves in between injection events and that really heated up the FICM then their 2nd fix had the...

Finally, a completed thread... Ok Guys, My FICM issues have finally been put to bed... After dealing with poor cold start/running conditions for over a year and countless calls to Innovative I was given a new flash! :toast: Originally Innovative gave me a link to superchip's d.i.y...

What tuner do you have? I believe most will tell you what stategy your running. Places like Power Hungry and Innovative can tell you based on the stategy number that pops up. Chances are you have inductive heating. Those sneaky guys at the dealship try to update every 6.0 that rolls through no...

Thanks guys that makes great sense :thumbup: Now that golfer has made his point clearer, it sounds reasonable. I didn't think that far into it. That's what makes this place great :bowfast: What I really wanted was inovative to send me the inductive heating tune via PDF or let me pay to ship my...

As usual, that is a great write up... Maybe, someone will move it over to a sticky. If they do, maybe they could add a link to the FICM test procedure:thumbup:

I soldered the FICM a couple of years ago and made sure I had 48volts before start up and during cranking after the ID FICM tuning removed the warming cycle... It's easy to check, I will make sure tonight just for piece of mind.

What Golfer said makes sense. That is why I added buffing to my statement in the original post. After watching the videos of guys trying to fix stiction I thought to myself, good to know exactly what is causing the problem and I would not be sanding the spool rod... My Excursion being a family...

New update... 9 months have came and gone with NO new help in obtaining the inductive heating programming. I have came to grips with pulling my injectors and buffing the spool rod. Looks to be pretty effective as seen on youtube. As for the FICM tuner performance. After driving several long...

Thanks guys, I really appreciate you posting. I looked for Gary's youtube but didn't find it. I did however, find the G2 scanner video. That is a very nice tool for a fella that works on these daily! Looks like I'm going to just pull em and stop trying to take short cuts. I need to revise my...

Okay guys... Enough is ENOUGH, I am tired of the stiction issues the little womans 2005 Excursion (05my engine) has had since I installed Innovative's FICM Programmer. I posted back around spring time about how their FICM Programming eliminates the spool vavle warm up cycle. Obviously, there was...

It's a 2005 xlt 4x4 with the 05my engine.

Strategy- VXDB1MZ

I will have to check the strategy when I get home. I'm curious to see where you go with my strategy. I have been PM'd by members that had the same issue. One of them said that he talked to Eric directly and ended up buying new custom tunes that defuel during cold start. After he loaded the new...

The glow plugs are good to go. When I return the ecm to stock it starts up smooth and it is barely noticable. I have spoken to PHP and ALL their FICM tuning has mild inductive heating to prevent what I'm dealing with. IDP has confirmed their FICM tuning has zero/zilch/no inductive heating. They...

I replied to the last on anougher thread. Yes, reman'd and yes, contribution. Just wanted to post an update (I hate unfinished threads) IDP keeps sending me a link to the superchips do it yourself programming page but, I am not a programmer and cannot figure it out.:fustrate: I am very unhappy...

Update, I still have a really ROUGH running cold 6.0... :fustrate: I have spoke to IDP several times but, they won't send me inductive heating:axe: They keep sending me a web link to a D.I.Y. superchips updater. I'm not a computer programmer and can't figure out how to write my own program...

Update, as of today IDM hasn't made it right. They have given me a web link but, I am not a computer programmer and cannot get it to work.:fustrate:

I'm glad I found this thread. I knew that the doors were just two sided tape (had one come loose). Great post, I was gonna pull ours off but, didn't know how the all silver tank would look... Now, I'm re-motivated :rockon:
